A Man’s Job For Men 


OW about partnership with these men? They 

H are picked recruits. What do you think of 

them? ‘There is character here and determina- 

tion and devotion. These men mean business. They 

are putting their lives and all that they have into the 

great Missionary Enterprise. They have been pre- 
paring for years and are now ready to go. 

Their word to you is: “ Will You Back Us? Will 
You Enter Into Partnership With Us? We furnish 
life— you furnish money and prayer. 

“We give all that we have: will you give a part 
of the means God has entrusted to you> Together we 
can do the job: Separately it is impossible. We go. 
You send. God will give the increase. It is up to you. 
What do you say ?

Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions 
156 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK 


This sums up a fair proposition to put before our busi- 
ness men and Churches. Any man or Church may thus 
have a representative on the foreign field. Salaries vary ac- 
cording to the expense of living in the country to which the 
Missionary goes. Outfit, travel, house rent, fuel, etc., make 
necessary $1,000 for each man. Their wives are supported by 
the Women’s Boards. Write to Mrs. HALSEY WOOD, 156 
Fifth Ave., N. Y. and learn particulars. 





One man, a group of men, a Men’s Bible Class, a Men’s 
Club, or a Church may enter into this partnership.

Rev. Edward C. Austin 


S going to Colombia. He has 
already had six years’ exper- 
ience in Christian work in Peru,

Rey. H. Ray Berger 
RADUATED at McCormick 


Theological Seminary in 
1914 expecting to go to Africa: 
The great war made this im- 
possible as our Africa Mission 
was closed to new recruits. 


Mr. Berger was asked to go 
to the Philippines and, with the 
true Missionary spirit, although 
his heart was set on Africa, he 
gladly acquiesced in the desire 





of the Board. Rev. H. Ray BERGER

man of winning personality and 
deep spirituality: a strong per- 
sistent young man and a grow- 


ing one.” Here is an opportun- 
ity to form a partnership which 





REV. HAROLD C. ANDERSON

in possibilities. 


Rey. Robert C. Byerly

for three years a teacher in the Syrian Protestant College 





Rev. ROBERT C. BYERLY

while there and was asked to re- 
return by friends in Syria. He 
wished to go, but the needs of 
Persia at the time of his appoint- 
ment were very great and he was 
willing to put his life there. 
Strangely enough, the war has 
detained him en route for Persia 
and he is now in Syria. His

eight years he has been looking 
forward to the great possibilities 
of Medical Missions, having for 
his prime motive “the desire to 
win souls for Christ’”—“ the ap- 
paling need coupled with the 
great opportunity has always 


been the strongest factor in my purpose.” Dr. Bercovitz goes 
to the Hainan Mission where a devoted missionary physician 
is very greatly needed at this time. He has just finished his 
interneship at the Los Angeles County Hospital.

realizing that just now Persia is in need of every Christian 
man or woman who has the heart and the courage to help her.

Freed’s eyes have turned for a number of years, and now,

the message of the Prince of 
Peace. Mr. Freed studied at 
Wooster University and McCor-

hearty commendation. He is

ing, Godly missionary.” He has 
had home Mission experience in 
Montana and Michigan. 





REV. HENRI R. FERGER 


Rey. Henri R. Ferger 
H 45 already “tried himself 
out 


as a “ short-term” man 
at the Gordon Mission College, 
Rawal Pindi, India. We are thus 
sending a man who has had ex- 
perience. He took his B. S. de- 
gree at Princeton, his M. A. at 
Teachers College, NewYork, and 
has studied for a year at Union 
Seminary. He has had exper- 
ience in the Big Brother Move- 
ment and in boys’ Y. M.C. A. 


Camps, and knows how to 


handle boys. Mr. Ferger has ability and enthusiasm and loves 
India, for which he has given up business opportunity here at 
home. He will enter heartily into the life of the young men 
and boys and in one of our educational institutions— (per- 
haps a High School in the Punjab)—will bring a well equip- 


ped, devoted Christian personal- 
ity into very close touch with 
those needy lives of India. 


Rey. Edgar C. Short

preaching on the home mission 
field. “He combines intellect- 
ual strength with religious con- 
viction and spiritual earnestness 





Rev. EDGAR C. SHORT 


and Christian piety and common 
good sense.” 

We are sending him to our 
Central Brazil Mission. This is 
his preference since his “mis- 
sionary purpose had its begin- 
nings in interests in South Amer- 


”

Rev. Graham Fuller 
We a two year agricultural 


course, four years civil en- 
gineering, together with experi- 





ence in architects’ and civil en- 
gineers’ offices, and finally the 
complete theological course at McCormick, here is certainly 
an “all around man.” Missionary service calls for every bit 
of equipment and experience that a man can acquire, many 
missionaries being obliged to act as architects and builders 
in wood and stone as well as in character and life. 


REV. GRAHAM FULLER 


Mr. Fuller is eminently fitted for both. In the architects’ 
offices where he worked, it often happened that he “ could 
not see the houses he was trying to draw, but a map of the 
Foreign Field.” He was ready to go to “China, or Africa, or 
any place the Board may indicate.” This is the spirit of the 
true missionary. We are sending him to far away North Siam 
—-one of the choice men of this year’s recruits. 


Rey. Clifford A. Douglass 
NOTHER man who has worked his way through and 


knows what life means. He is a graduate of Occidental 
College and San Francisco Seminary. He has been a winner 
of souls. Has preached in Rescue Mission in San Francisco 
with telling effect. He has done splendid work with boys. 





REV. CLIFFORD A. DOUGLASS 


“You can depend upon him to 
do heroic work in practical Evan- 
gelism. He will preach a Gos- 
pel that is not a philosophy but 
a force. He will never be afraid 
of anything, and if there are hard- 
ships he will take them asa mat- 
ter of course.” Mr. Douglass goes 
to Colombia where missionaries 
are few and possibilities great. 
Who will enter into partnership 
with him in his heroic work for 
The Neglected Continent ? 


Mr. Olin W. MeMillen 


OES to South China to assist in educational work. He has 
already had two years of experience as teacher in the 
Arlington Training School for Boys, Arlington, Texas. He is 
a graduate of the University of Missouri and of the Missouri 


State Military School and _ will 
be a good drill master. In Sun- 
day School and Boys’ Club work 
he has shown himself efficient. 
While preferring a Spanish- 
speaking country because of 
knowledge of the language, Mr. 
McMillen was willing to go 
where the Board should direct. 
He is a fine personality, attrac- 
tive, cheerful, and energetic. He 
has been a successful teacher 
and possesses that most desir- 
able quality in a missionary of 
ability to work well with others. 





Mr. OLIN W. McMILLEN 


Dr. Wm. Henry Adolph and Mr. Harold W. Harkness 
ARE BOTH assigned to the Shantung Mission and expect 


to give their lives in educational work at Shantung Chris- 
tian University, one of the finest institutions of its kind in 
China. Four or five hundred students are awaiting them. In 
five years there will be a thousand. These young men are 
to train the future leaders of China. 


Dr Adolph has just completed his graduate work at the 
University of Pennsylvania, taking a Ph. D. with Chemistry 
as his major subject. He is a man of fine spirit and most at- 
tractive character. Having already had three years intimate 
contact with Chinese students in this country, he is especially 
prepared to enter into the student life at Shantung University, 
and to exert a strong Christian influence among its students. 


Mr. Harkness is a minister's son and comes to us from 
Canada, having been released to us through the courtesy of 
the Canadian Presbyterian Board. He is a graduate of Queens 
University, Ontario, and has seen some home Mission service. 
He has specialized in Engineering. Shantung University will 
have use for every talent he possesses as it sends its hundreds 
of Christian students forth into the life of the New China. 





Dr. WM. HENRY ADOLPH = Mr, HArRoLD W. HARKNESS 


ITH which of these will you join in part- 
nership? Your contribution is to be an 
extra, a clean plus over and above what you or 
your church or organization are now giving 
to the Foreign Board. What you are now giving 
is needed to carry on work already begun. 
These salaries start a new series of obligations 
on the part of the Board and call for absolutely 
new money. Here are fifteen men. There are 
ten more. We ask for twenty-five salaries in 
annual pledges of $1,000 each.
